A single microdermabrasion treatment will cost anywhere from
$75 to $200. But remember, in order to achieve results, most people require
multiple treatments – so you’re potentially looking at spending up to $1600 (if
you have eight treatments done at $200 a pop). That’s the high end of the
spectrum, of course, but entirely possible. Pricing will depend on the type of
machine used, and the area of the country that you’re in. Some clinics will
offer package deals.
Can I do this at home?
There are many “do-it-yourself” microdermabrasion kits
available on the market today. Some of them can be pricey, generally about
fifty to eighty dollars per kit, but that’s not nearly as expensive as an
actual session at a clinic – and you can use the kits for multiple treatments.
They consists of creams or scrubs which contain the same crystals you’d find in
an actual microdermabrasion treatment, but instead of the vacuum wand, you use
your hands to exfoliate the top layer of skin, then simply rinse the dead skin
cells away.
Things to remember …
Don’t expect miracles from this treatment. It can make your
face look great, but it’s not a facelift. It is an un-invasive and simple way
to improve the appearance of your skin. Again, before having this procedure
done, be sure to check out the credentials and cleanliness of the clinic you’re
planning to go to.
You too can experience the thrill of younger-looking skin – and of
nonchalantly commenting to your friends that you’re “having work done.” It's a
cosmetic procedure without the commitment of heavy-duty plastic surgery. Microdermabrasions
... blast yourself beautiful!
